xbox problem

pissed

Hi all, just wondering if anybody has come across this problem before. I only got my xbox 360 for christmas and it works fine with 4 out of the 5 games I have. There is one game that just wont play. It boots to the point where your supposed to press the "start" button but thats it. Press start and nothing happens. First I thought it was the game so I took it back and got a replacement but thats still the same. Tried the game on a friends xbox 360 and it works fine, no problems. The game in question is dead or alive 4. As I said the other games work fine is there anything I need to do or have I got a dodgy console. I have done the latest update from ms but its still the same.

Thanks

Try deleting all the save data for the game from the dashboard and see if it boots.

All the save data from all games played? As I have never gotten dead or alive to work I have no save data from it ?

Nope, just data from DoA4. Sometimes they create a profile for you as it boots up.

I think its something to do with it being 60Hz, I remember having this problem with it.

Exactly.
I'm guessing that you're using a non HDTV pissed.
Basically, some games are made to only work on 60Hz standard TVs.
Standard TVs in Ireland are pretty much all 50Hz. Don't worry though, unless your TV is more than a decade old, it's capable of accepting a 60 Hz setting.
All you have to do is go into the settings menu on you Xbox dashboard (the purple page), and change it from 50 to 60 in the video tab.
The game will work fine now.
As McGovern said DOA4 was one of these games. I think GOW might be too.
If I remember correctly, DOA came with a leaflet inside the box explaining it.
That might be no longer given out, but it's worth taking a look if you're still confused.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the game itself, you just have to adjust the settings.

Thanks for all the help. The 60Hz thing worked. It would be helpful if they put something in the game instructions about it. Anyway all sorted now thanks again

hey, i'm having similiar trouble but my tv wont work at 60hz. i thought it was a lcd tv when i bought it but its actually a monitor with tv tuner. it works fine except at 60hz. anyway around this 60hz?? a friend said something about a vga connector or cable or something like that. would that work?

If your tv has a vga connector,you can get a 360 VGA CABLE, to connect to tv,the game should play in 720p hd mode at least ,as if you are connecting a pc to tv,and playing a pc game.what video connectors has the tv got,beside vga.if you are using scart use av1, scart 1 rgb/ext 1.scart 1 should be fully wired ,usually called av1,ext1 on tv.Game, gamestop stores ,even some golden discs have 360 cables in stock.
